An image for Anime Expo of their mascot character, Max, part of a bundle of images done for the SPJA.

It was fun to work with another style for a while, it felt like I took a jump back in time 10-15 years ago to when I drew anime stuff a lot. Only with, you know, some semblance of skill now (I hope.) Anyways, looking forward to developing the style a bit more in the future.

PS. I wrote 2013 in the title. Living in the past, maaaan.

12.6.14 Edit: A Daily Dev, eh? Well, that was totally unexpected for this particular image (mostly because I'm still trying to improve the style). But thank you very much, a pleasant surprise! Please treat me well from now on.

Details and Info

Painter 9, I actually got this one done pretty fast, it's just that I didn't keep track. Honest.

Commission, in a roundabout way through an outside studio that AX has a working relationship with (the same guys I do the Labyrinth Masquerade art for; their cons are like a block away from eachother and run at the same time.)

There's no reference sheet, but I'm probably going to be working on one for the next time I might draw the character. If I do end up doing that, I might see if it's ok to release it earlier so anyone can have detailed info on the costume.

If you've got anything you might need to know for cosplay, tell me and I'll try and keep it in mind.

hey, I was gonna start a personal project just to practice with adobe illustrator and was going to make a fake brochure about Anime Expo and wanted to know if I could use this in it? It wouldn't be distributed anywhere or uploaded anywhere. I could send you a copy of the finished product if you wanted and give credit inside
